Today’s customers are ever-changing. They are increasingly immune to traditional media and messaging, but expect brands to create lasting experiences.
Meanwhile, marketers with limited resources and time struggle to collect and analyze customer data before real-time opportunities pass them by.
Brands that understand how to create actionable insights in real time—versus banking everything on one monumental customer segmentation study—are outperforming others. The question therefore becomes:
How do modern marketers better identify high-value customer needs and pinpoint areas of opportunity quickly and more efficiently?
Using customized quantitative approaches that require minimal investment, VSA helps modern brands gain a sharper, actionable profile of their highest-value customers that they can put to work immediately.

Customer Definition for Arity
Like most startups, strategic audience definition was a challenge for Arity. Founded by Allstate, Arity had been focusing their resources on a target that they believed was key to their success.
Within 6 weeks, VSA was able to identify several distinct segments — some not yet identified as high-value by Arity.
The segmentation study also revealed that the audience they’d been targeting had significant barriers to adopting the Arity solution.
Further analysis of the three new, high-value segments revealed that these customers had unmet needs that Arity was uniquely positioned to solve — providing them with untapped financial opportunity.
“As a startup, Arity needed to move fast. Within 6 weeks, VSA helped us identify and hone in on our priority customers so that we could better articulate our value proposition and expand our footprint in our target market.”
